Today I celebrated a closing with one of my recent petrochemical relocation buyers.

It just so happend this buyer is a Texas A & M Aggie and we had a lot of good football discussions during the last two-three months! Today was a first for me (as a Razorback) extending a warm welcome to an Aggie! I have already received a referral from this buyer and am getting close to writing another contract!

HI Marilyn, I hope the gulf is all the way back. That should alone help the real estate market there. So many people depend on jobs as you stated in your blog, and I and others up north depend on Blue Crabs during the winter months, flown in from your great state. My favorite food. I wish you success in real estate now and hopefully 2011 will be your best year ever! It sure sounds like you are on the right track with your buddies from the west, and your referrals!
